Rush University Medical Center, a nationally recognized clinical and academic institution and the teaching hospital for Rush Medical and Nursing Colleges, invites applications for the position Gastroenterology clinical faculty – Centers of Excellence Lead.

Centers of Excellence: We are looking for mid and late career leaders that are highly subspecialized in Gastroenterology, specifically in Esophageal and Small Bowel to lead our new Centers of Excellence as the Chicago, IL market and community are in need of more specialization and RUMC is paving the way. Academic appointments will be in the College of Medicine of Rush University. Our academic medical center is part of a large system focused on patient care, teaching, and research. More specifically, the Section of Gastroenterology is part of the Digestive Diseases Service Line which integrates clinical care, teaching, and research efforts to advance the subspecialty.
